| description | Nanotechnology, particularly nanoemulsions (NEs), have gained increasing interest
from researchers throughout the years. The small-sized droplet with a high surface area makes
NEs important in many industries. In this review article, the components, properties, formation,
and applications are summarized. The advantages and disadvantages are also described in this
article. The formation of the nanosized emulsion can be divided into two types: high and low energy
methods. In high energy methods, high-pressure homogenization, microfluidization, and ultrasonic
emulsification are described thoroughly. Spontaneous emulsification, phase inversion temperature
(PIT), phase inversion composition (PIC), and the less known D-phase emulsification (DPE) methods
are emphasized in low energy methods. The applications of NEs are described in three main areas
which are food, cosmetics, and drug delivery |
